Galadriel, the charmingly beautiful elf and the royal Elf of Noldor, was the source of inspiration for me when I started to design this square. The Galadriel square will be the first one in the “Elves” series — a series of my designs inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novels. Enjoy the crocheting!

The instruction is a PDF file and you can download and save it immediately after payment (a small delay in Paypal payment) and you will also receive a download link for the instruction via email (or text message, but email is more recommended).

Crochet hooks: Clover Armour 3.5 mm for the squares and 3.0 mm for joining or according to your crocheting to achieve the gauge. With a different gauge, you will also need more or less yarn than estimated.

Needle for waving in the yarn ends. Blocking boards and stainless steel needles for blocking the finished blanket.

MATERIALS

Schachenmayr Merino extrafine 120 yarn in 50 gr yarn balls:

2 x tearose (136)

2 x kardinal (140)

1 x mint (167)

1 x capri (168)

1 x wisteria (145)

1 x violet (147)

4 x green (174)

21 x gray (198)

There is notmuchextrayarnin the total amount of the yarn. Please pay attention to the gauge, not only in the beginning but also along with the project, to make sure you will not run out of yarn. I have also noticed that the blanket is quite heavy. If you crochet fewer stitches per cm than the gauge, there is a risk that the blanket will stretch and lose its shape.

You have the option to resize the blanket by making more or less squares or by rotating the squares by 45 degrees. Please note, that all changes may have an effect on the square and yarn amounts.
